Sébastien Tellier – Sexuality

Production By GUY-MANUEL DE HOMEM-CHRISTO

Sébastien Tellier or the wizard on Daft Punk land. Sexuality marks the first album Mister Tellier will see produced by someone else, and more precisely by Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo, the golden helmet robot. The Blue Alliance Mother’s third album, it’s once again around a same theme and whole concept that the futuristic pop music’s creator has introduced us, throughout 11 transcendent tracks. Called [maybe] as “the best singer and composer in France today” by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, it’s without any hesitation that Daft Punk’s half has joined Sébastien for a media-seductive project. Guy-Manuel added “If you feel it and if you feel something creatively interesting then it’s possible”. And of course, like all sexual intercourse, Sébastien wanted a partner for this album.

Between them, the album’s most significant track is Sexual Sportswear, like Tellier said it is a “combination of what I was doing before and what Guy-Man can do”, and for the title itself, it’s one of Sébastien’s “sexual fantasies I always think about; women in sportswear. I like women in sports pants and prefer peeling them off to lifting up their skirts”. The album, on its side, isn’t similar at all “like what I have released before and nothing like what Guy-Man did with Daft Punk”, “It’s very electronic and like intellectual R’n’B, although not in the same way that Beyoncé or Justin Timberlake are R’n’B”, “I wanted to make music that would sexually excite people in an Italian or Latin sense of sexual music; the big seducer with the broken heart… I tried to keep vulgarity away from sex and my music”.

Sébastien’s wife Amandine de la Richardière participated for certain album’s tracks. In addition to have given her voice for the Kilometer track, her orgasms are audible in Pomme, orgasms that would’ve have been recorded during one of their sexual intercourse. Sébastien Tellier and Daft Punk’s first contact was about the track’s Universe use in the Electroma film. The album Sexuality was released on February the 25th 2008, on the Record Makers label, in 2 editions: digipack and digibook!
